Hell's Gate Part 2

excellent!! i finally got out, i was making it much harder than it had to be. thats what i seem to do alot

i dont know how you all do these maps so quickly. i have been working on this for an hour and im still stuck. i can only get two so far

Fun map. The antlines are a mess, but I enjoyed the puzzle a lot. My solution: https://youtu.be/eJ1T49i_eMU (the video is still processing as I make this comment)

Very fun map - now that I've played it, I actually think that knowing in advance that it's inspired by the Tower of Hanoi did not even help me while solving it, since to be honest I don't really see the connection. I had expected the solution to be longer given what I knew in advance (during 10 out of the 20 minutes I hadn't even seen the holes below the light bridges yet :P which I think could have been made a bit more visible using some lights or something) but then I basically just brought the last cube to the front, the first cube to the back and I was essentially done. Still a very entertaining cube shuffler - thumbs up!

There are probably tons of maps like this ( swap cubes 3 and 1 and respawn cube 3 in the end ) but this particular version feels somewhat different, I like it a lot.

OK, full disclosure. This is a remake of the second part of the (famous?) map released in March 2012: Heavens Gate [forums.thinking.withportals.com] by marKiu. It's been told that "Room 2 is one of the best implementations of the Towers of Hanoi I've seen in any game, Portal or otherwise". I've spent my fair share of time solving it (don't really remember how much, it was one of my first maps). Now it seems those ladders don't really do anything (there's no use of the height difference in the original map as well).

@Andi, that was great, you totally decomposed the entire thing. Fixed in update 9.
@Narkodes, your solution was fully intended and the shortest one. Congratulations!

update 8: fixed the thing with the fizzlers (damn it, can't be too careful)

Yeah since you didn't make the fizzlers go all the way up, I just lifted the cubes above them. Also, you published this version first so wouldn't it make more sense if this was part 1 and the other was part 2? :P

It took me 30mins to find the intended (?) solution.
